I personally think we have been doing good work over the last 6 months as a CG, and we are just getting started. Admittedly, in terms of outputs, we have stalled in the last 4 months so we still need to find a way to address that as a group.

Marcos et all - it is exactly things like IPR issues that I am
attempting to address with this question.  We should (and increasingly
do) have involvement and participation from folks who *are* in WGs or
work with vendors and, for them, the IPR differences between CG and WG
are quite different.  This is why I pointed the question that way.
